Top AEW Star Sends Message To Tony Khan & Leaves Hospital
A major AEW star has sent a message to Tony Khan as they were discharged from the hospital following a brutal injury.
The October 11th edition of Collision ended in disaster for one AEW star when Kota Ibushi clashed with Josh Alexander of The Don Callis Family.
While Alexander had Ibushi in a Fireman’s Carry position on the middle rope in the corner, the pair lost balance and fell backwards out of the ring. Once they’d crashed to the floor, Ibushi immediately grabbed his leg, and Alexander got back in the ring as his rival was counted out.
After the match, Kenny Omega appeared to fight off The Don Callis Family while Ibushi was helped out of the arena. It later emerged that the Golden Star had suffered a broken femur, an injury that could potentially keep him out of action for two years.
Kota Ibushi Thanks AEW Boss Tony Khan
Taking to social media, Kota Ibushi sent a message of thanks to Tony Khan, Kenny Omega, and Michael Nakazawa as he revealed he’s been discharged from the hospital:
Finally made it to the wheelchair. This is also the help of nurses, Mr. Nakazawa, Mr. Kenny, President Tony Khan, and many other dedicated people and fans who were able to move from bed to wheelchair. Of course I’m in no more pain, extreme pain. In such a short period of time my legs and body have gotten thinner, and I have lost 12.4 kilograms, but this is just the beginning of post-operation. From here on out it’s all my choices how I heal and the future will change. Cure the best for the bodies!
For the first time I’ve seen a place where there are other jobs outside of professional wrestling, but the CEO himself gives a lot of work. Contract extension extension,,,no words to say. Kenny is also vice president but doing his best. What should I repay it? Pro wrestling has to be returned by pro wrestling!! ️Now, I’m dedicating what I can to my company and fans.

Ibushi has endured an injury-hit run since sustaining a serious shoulder injury back in 2021. The star didn’t return to the ring for 18 months, but disaster struck again in January 2024 when he suffered a major ankle injury.
